Astyanax cordovae

Astyanax cordovae is a small species of freshwater fish only found in Argentina. Its range is restricted to the Primero and Segundo rivers at low elevations, and it is an infrequent sighting therein. This makes it unique, as the only fish species endemic to the region. Most of its time is spent near the riverbed. It is an omnivore with a preference for land-dwelling insects that get washed into the river from shore.
